I was watching the re-run of this Fridays Fifth Gear this morning and thought hang on, that car looks familiar!!

 

It was the former Stig - Ben Collins in the Paul Marston drag car!!

 

Then I watched it a bit more and thought hang on, that car looks familiar!!

 

It was my Z!! Well, a reflection of it when he jumped in the queue and then a blurred shot of it for about launch! (see if you can spot it I'm behind a GTR!!)

 

So that's who was behind me in this video - You can see Paul Marston walking down the track, The Stig in the car and then the film crew!!

 

 

You have to look really hard but I'm there lol!!

They have used that clip out of sequence but yes that is deffo the best shot of the Z.

take a screenshot and post it up... i cant see it

 

I can't from work but if you watch the Youtube vid first and see the dragster come round he catches my rear end with his on board camera.

 

If you pause the fifth gear vid at 3.37 you can JUST see my rear end!

 

It's not distinguishable though!!

 

LOL!!

That's me!! Now see if you can take a still from the YouTube video at exactly the same moment!!!
